Stacey Langley, LISW

Stacey Langley is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Iowa with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are managing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, grief, anger, and stress. She also works with issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and LGBT-related challenges.

Before becoming a clinician, Stacey worked as a behavioral health intervention specialist and as a domestic abuse advocate. That background informs how she talks through safety, boundary setting, and practical steps with people who have experienced trauma and family conflict. She uses straightforward methods rather than jargon or long theoretical descriptions.

Her approach centers on the relationship between therapist and client. She practices client-centered care and draws from trauma-focused work, solution-focused techniques, and cognitive behavioral methods. Sessions often involve identifying concrete strategies, trying small changes between meetings, and adjusting plans when something does not fit.

Stacey values clear, actionable goals. She will help a person break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps. For parents and adults worried about family dynamics, she focuses on communication patterns, attachment-related concerns, and coping strategies for stress and anger.

She earned both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in social work from the University of South Dakota. Stacey’s background in advocacy and behavioral health gives her experience with family-of-origin issues, domestic violence dynamics, and the practical pressures that caregivers face.
